Hi

I have got a great book today; "The Motor Manual", By Temple Press Limited.

It needed rescuing, as it was for sale on the floor with allot of more modern books. Some one has given it to a child to scribble in, and every page has been defaced, but only in pencil so I can read through it, it is also very well used. It is all abouts motors in simple Language, and speaks of these new inventions called windscreens, so must be fairly old.

Cheers

Dave

Cool, I know the book you mean, it was re-published many times over the years. Does it have a publication date, or impression number in the front?

Hi

No dates, but it says 22 edition, so I supose it is quite a late one, how many edditions did they do?

I am going to read this book though, ocasionally I find a booke that I can, and actually want to read from cover to cover and I think this may be one of them!

Cheers

Dave
